G'day,

As some of you know, I've recently knocked together a system of injecting inoculant 'compost tea' directly into the root zone of pasture plants via the keyline plow; the development of which I've documented on my farm blog.

Clearly the benefits of combining these two methods with respect to soil building and health will be immense.

Are there any suggestions for other beneficial fluid or solids that I might inject into the soil while keyline plowing? My rig includes a new platform so I have space to lug material. I'm employing the so called 'fertliser boots' to deliver the tea into the soil. I'd like to stimulate possibilities for the purpose of adding 'value' to a single tractor pass...

Any suggestions?

Many thanks,
Ben Falloon
